When finished, make the script executable:

# chmod +x ~dru/pbi/lib.sh

As this script takes an executable as an argument, find out the names of your package's executables:

# pwd
/home/dru/pbi/digikam/bin
# file * | grep LSB
dcraw:  ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for 
    FreeBSD 5.3-CURRENT (rev 5), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), 
    stripped
digikam: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for 
     FreeBSD 5.3-CURRENT (rev 5), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), 
    stripped
<snip 36 other executables)>

This particular package has 38 executables, so you need to run lib.sh that many times. Note that lib.sh makes a script that copies the libraries needed by that executable. As you create each script, run it and then remove it:

# ~dru/pbi/lib.sh dcraw
Run the script dcraw_lib.sh to copy the required libraries
# ./dcraw_lib.sh && rm dcraw_lib.sh

# ~dru/pbi/lib.sh digikam
Run the script dcraw_lib.sh to copy the required libraries
# ./digikam_lib.sh && rm digikam_lib.sh

<snip other 36 iterations>

When you finish, you'll have a populated lib/ directory:

# ls lib | wc
    79   79   1055

Looks like there are 79 libraries.

Next, double-check whether your package has any lib/ subdirectories:

# ls -F ~dru/pbi/digikam/lib | grep "/"
gphoto2/
gphoto2_port/
imlib2/
kde3/

If there are any, create those subdirectories in your bin/lib/ and copy the appropriate library files over:

# pwd
/home/dru/pbi/digikam/bin/lib
# mkdir gphoto2 gphoto2_port imlib2 kde3
# cp -R ~dru/pbi/digikam/lib/gphoto2/* gphoto2
# cp -R ~dru/pbi/digikam/lib/gphoto2_port/* gphoto2_port
# cp -R ~dru/pbi/digikam/lib/imlib2/* imlib2
# cp -R ~dru/pbi/digikam/lib/kde3/* kde3

Step 5: Look for an Icon and Cleanup bin/

Adding an icon to your PBI is nice. Check whether one came with your package:

# grep -w icons ../+CONTENTS
share/apps/digikam/icons/hicolor/32x32/actions/addimagefolder.png
<snip large output>

This package definitely came with many icons, and this is the one I'm looking for:

# cp ../share/icons/crystalsvg/128x128/apps/digikam.png .

If your package doesn't have any icons, choose your favorite from a subdirectory of /usr/local/share/icons/crystalsvg/128x128/ and copy it to bin/.

When you finish, uninstall the package and its dependencies so they won't interfere when you test the PBI:

# pkg_delete -rx digikam

Finally, double-check bin/ to ensure that it contains only the tarball, the install and uninstall scripts, the binaries, and the lib/ directory.
